Give thanks for this turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce By The Culinary Institute of America
Thanksgiving is a day for celebrating, where we enjoy the company of friends, share delicious food, and reflect on our country's history and traditions.

About 200 volunteer spots are still available and the success of the count is dependent the generosity of locals who are willing to work into the late hours to help the city
track its homeless population. “The 2017 Homeless Count will need volunteers more than ever to give the City of Santa Monica the best picture of how many people are in need of assistance,” said Sergeant Jeff Glaser, Santa Monica Police Department. “Without the generosity of time given by those helping with this important count, we would not have the wherewithal to understand the true impact the city is facing and where those
people are who need the help from our outreach providers.” During the count, volunteers will gather at St. Monica Catholic Community, 725 California Ave. before dividing into teams and spreading out throughout the city. Volunteers take a physical count of individuals that appear to be living on the streets and the data is used by local, state and federal officials to provide services, grants and resources. “The annual Santa Monica
Homeless Count plays an important role in the City’s collaborative, interdepartmental efforts to address homelessness,” said Brian Hardgrave, Santa Monica Human Services Division. “ We rely on an eager group of volunteers who deploy late at night and diligently count every block in the city.
